debian>$ sudo reboot

2) ssh to debian system and download NetInstall ISO to local iso directory
debian>$ mkdir iso
debian>$ cd ~/iso
debian>$ wget -q https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-10.10.0-amd64-netinst.iso

3) Login to Web Console from your workstation (PC or Mac)
   Add IP address for debian system in your /etc/hosts file
   So you can type following URL in the browser.

% curl -I http://debian:9090

Chrome --> https://debian:9090/ --> Advanced --> Proceed to debian

!!! WARNING !!!
Activate default networks in virtual machines to avoid following error

Creation of VM vm1 failed show less
ERROR Requested operation is not valid: 
network 'default' is not active Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. 
If it was, you can restart your domain by running: virsh --connect qemu:///system start vm1 
otherwise, please restart your installation.


4) Create VM from Web Console
   Virtual Machines --> Create VM
   Name: vm1
   Connection: System
   Installation type: Local install media
   Installation source: /home/tchung/iso/debian-10.10.0-amd64-netinst.iso
   Operation system: Debian 10 (buster)
   Storage: Create new volume
   Size:  20 GiB
   Memory: 2 GiB
   [x] Immediately start VM

5) Install Debian 10 on virtual machine as you do in physical machine

6) ssh to virtual machine (vm1) and confim you can ping
   Add IP address for vm1 in your /etc/hosts file on debian system
   So you can ssh to vm1 instead of IP address

debian>$ ssh vm1
   vm1>$ ping www.google.com
         ... works!
